Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1998 16:21:35 +1100 Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This came up on the newsgroup today and I couldn't think of an answer. FreeBSD has adjtime(2) and Poul-Henning et al as nanosecond wranglers, yet no "date -a". This must be a deliberate omission. Why?
